Once transcription is finished, the text is available and is linked to the audio file. It can then
easily be referenced, emailed or exported. You can globally search transcriptions for text,
refining the audio files that you search, by Net-Log, recording day, channel, time and date, or
script status (new, audio only, text only, audio & text, or open).
Foot-Controlled Playback & Function Key Text Insertion
Standard audio controls for transcription include Play, Pause, (Fast) Forward and Rewind by
defined amounts. Holding the Rewind and Fast-Forward buttons makes them decrement
and increment faster depending on your settings. Previous and Next buttons allow you to
go to the previous and next recordings respectively, which is useful where a long session
has been captured over a number of recordings. There are also volume & playback speed
controls. The Play/Pause, Forward & Rewind buttons can be controlled with the optional
DS-FPS3 or DS-FPU3 foot-pedals.
The transcription window has a spell checker and 12 user defined function keys can be used
to enter repetitive material such as names, places and recurring events. The recorded time &
date and the current time & date are also available.
D:Scribe contains Auto-Archive and Auto-Delete software so that you can define how
long recorded audio files & scripts are stored on the server, e.g. files can be automatically
removed after a period of time (between 2 and 99 days), eliminating an administration task.
Sonifex Net-Log Audio Logger
The Sonifex Net-Log is a 4 channel audio logger which can record weeks of programming
on a large internal hard-disk. The unit was designed as dedicated hardware for reliability
reasons, i.e. there’s no PC motherboard in this machine. Although PC based systems are
great for playback, they generally aren’t robust enough for continuous recording 24/7/365.
The Net-Log was designed from the ground up to offer :
•
High reliability for continuous operation.
•
High quality audio (mpeg compressed).
•
Compatibility with existing broadcast & Windows based systems (saves bwf files).
•
Automatic operation with very simple to use software.
All audio created by Net-Log is Windows Media Player compatible so files can be emailed to
colleagues and customers and played out on any PC with a sound system.
There are many applications for Net-Log, from radio stations recording their broadcasts for
regulatory purposes, to small call centres, law firms and security companies using them for
monitoring. Net-Logs have been installed in court rooms & police interview rooms for audio
surveillance and, when combined with the D:Scribe transcription system, offer a cost saving
desk-top based logging & filing system for audio & transcripts.
